To reduce waste, our manufacturing facility in Chiro, Taiwan replaced two electroplating lines with a single high efficiency line. This change drove 78 percent year-over-year reduction in chrome waste and an annual reduction of more than 13 million gallons in cooling water discharge. That’s enough water to fill 20 Olympic-size swimming pools.
